2010 MTV Video Music Awards Whammy’s & Schammy’s

What do you get when you mix raw meat, feathers and dirty underwear? No you don't get Lady Gaga's latest "inspired" ensemble; you get the best and worst of the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. Check it out.

Whammy's

Ciara

This is one of the best she has looked ever in this Givenchy feathery number. It's sexy, understated and sophisticated. Now let's try and translate some of that to your stage costumes, shall we?

Eva Marcille

Hands down one of the best dressed on the carpet and on any carpet for that matter. This Shane Peacock design is the perfect way to stand out with originality without making a giant fool of yourself.

Lady Gaga

Aside from the uncomplimentary icy blue and purple dye in her hair, the Lady stuns in this Alexander McQueen dress. It's romantic and ethereal; pretty much it's everything you tend not to associate with Lady Gaga.

Ne-Yo

Okay I can do without the same 'ole pose of Ne-Yo perking his lips for a little camera time seduction. Oh sugar! Nevertheless he keeps it effortlessly cool and modern in this look. The boots add a welcome rugged vintage effect.

Drake

Someone is giving Ne-Yo a run for his money in the cool category. His colorful Tom Ford shoes wonderfully set off this all black look. He may have given a lame performance of "Fancy," but at least he looked the part.

Usher & Justin Bieber

Well, Ellen DeGeneres certainly looks younger than ever. Oh wait, that ain't Ellen. Sorry, Justin. Anywho, I would have preferred to see Justin with some color on to match his fun personality, but still he pulls off the all black look here and so does Usher. I want that scarf.

Schammy's

Lady Gaga

Yup, if I wore this I'd carry my head down in shame too. However, those shoes are looking good enough to eat wear.

Will.I.Am and Nicki Minaj

Hmmm, I may be one of the few who didn't overreact to Will.i.am's supposed blackface mask. After all it matches the entire rest of his all-black ensemble so I didn't take it as blackface per se. Still, did Nicki's over animated behind take a chunk out of his hair? Meanwhile, Nicki's looking like a Jetsons call girl with a severe case of conehead. This is when being "different" goes awry.

Rihanna

I'll forgive Eminem for this drab look and own it up to the fact that he's in "character" during his performance. However whatever character Rihanna is portraying she needs to do another dress rehearsal because this look is just a disaster. Perhaps if she were some student covering Madonna's "Like a Virgin," at an ultra low budget cheesy school performance I would get it.

Wacka Flocka Flame

No words.

Trey Songz

I've come to expect a little more from Trey who usually looks a bit more put together on the carpet than this. That said, the high collar leather jacket is saving Trey's entire outfit from being below average.

Sean Kingston

Without some oversized crayon inspired jewelry it becomes clear that Sean lacks a certain thing called originality.

Jason DeRulo

Will.I.Am called and he said stop jacking his look, son!

Travie McCoy

We get it you're not a "Billionaire," but still you don't have to look like you've only got $5 to your name.

Ron Artest and Shin Shin

Ron if you're gonna self-promote your own project you've got to go all out like Macy Gray. Just wear a long shirt that says "I'm desperate, buy my new artist's album." After all, Shin Shin appears to be too constipated to promote anything her damn self.
